We recently hosted the Love of Sewing Retreat with special guest Nancy Zieman at the Puyallup Fairgrounds. This was a unique opportunity for our customers and employees alike as Nancy only presents four sewing retreats a year. The event was a success and I think everyone had fun!
Two of Nancy’s samples that inspired me the most were the Trace n’ Create Lone Star Quilt Template and Trace n’ Create Dresden Quilt Template. These templates are fantastic because you can create a 36″ block in the same time it takes to make a standard size quilt block. Using these Trace n’ Create templates, you are able to make a 12″,24′ 32″ or 36″ quilt block. It takes just as much time to make a 36′ block as it does a 12″ block. Either one of these large blocks would work well to create a queen size quilt in no time using a quilting machine!

- Using Nancy’s “No-pivot Method”, you will never use traditional methods again!
-
- With the templates, you have perfect points every time!

Nancy was absolutely wonderful! She relates to each of us in a very real way. I’m definitely looking forward to Friday Nite Out with Nancy at Sew Expo!
